"It’s really unfortunate for Thibaut and I wish him a speedy recovery but I’m enjoying the games, enjoying playing, and the main thing is I’m contributing to the team," the Bosnian said of his team-mate's injury.

"I see every game as an opportunity. I’ll play when the manager decides to play me and it’s just nice to be part of so many games in each competition and obviously the further we go the more games we’ll have and the players are going to be happy.

"I came here to help the team compete for trophies, so this was a good step forward, we’re in the next round and obviously still in contention for the trophy."
